Chartered physiotherapist and author of The Good Sleep Expert, Margo, was so impressed with the California’s fully sprung loft bed and medium-firm, breathable mattresses, that she concluded that the camper could help optimise sleep after a day of exploring.

An estimated 7.5 million Brits suffer from poor sleep*, with the lack of rest posing a threat to their mental and physical health, according to medical professionals.

As part of her research, Margo spent a week living with a Volkswagen California 6.1 Ocean during which she measured the numerous factors that help promote a good night’s sleep against the conditions within the Volkswagen California. Margo concluded that the campervan had performed well with regards to comfort, temperature and mattress firmness, which all help with better sleep quality and improved circulation, making for a comfortable night’s rest.

Further, Margo found that additional lifestyle factors that promote rest - such as physical exercise, blocking out artificial light, disconnecting from devices and connecting with the body’s circadian rhythm – were much more likely to be realised when camping out.
